Some local doctors say they’re worried the gathering set for this Saturday and Sunday could end up being a COVID-19 super-spreader event, but organizers say they’re taking precautions to prevent that. Dr. Joe Arena, a recently retired physician who lives just off of Las Olas Boulevard, joined several other doctors in writing Broward County and the city of Fort Lauderdale to share their concerns about the event. “What you see is a lot of space, none of the crowds we usually see in Alexandria, which is in fact about the same size as the Las Olas Art Fair.”Organizers are asking people to sign up for a time slot and get a free ticket online. As for the doctors, they say they don’t believe the safety protocols will be easily enforced and they are hoping the event can just be postponed until next year.
